Notes & Homework
Skill: Counter Attack
- Weight Transfer: Allow weight to flow into shot.
- Body Positioning: Prep is key-Good ready position watching for the attackable ball coming at you.
- Swing: Accelerate through the ball. Finish out in front ready for the next shot to come at you.
- Mental: Assume everything can be sped up and be pleasantly surprised if they keep it slow.
Drill:Ā Bowtie Volleys Inside NVZ
- Players stand just inside NVZ to increase reaction time.
- 1 player hits every shot down the line and 1 player hits every shot across. From above it will look like you are drawing a bowtie with your ball flight.
- Do this for 2 min then switch who is hitting down the line and who is hitting across.
Ā Skill: Speed Up
- Contact Point: Out in front of you the same as you would a dink.
- Body Positioning: Same as a dink. You are trying to disguise this shot.
- Hands: Laid back wrist and slight flick as you strike the ball.
- Swing: Short to no Backswing. Accelerate through the ball. Be careful not to overhit this shot.
